but I know, they don't "care" not like they are gonna come out with a single turbo NISMO LOLOL

I didn't miss it, thats cool. Was it Nissan PR? Nissan manufacturing? I speak purely from manufacturing where the automobile company has a huge following with customers who mod the vehicles. Often times they offer these people special days, plant tours, photo-ops (much like this Nissan/Car and Driver thing going on), you get the picture. When it comes down to engineers actually caring... that isn't going to happen with your car or mine. GTM or Fast Intentions would have a much better chance at that (still wouldn't happen). But I'm not telling you anything you don't already know.

When you get your car into a tuner magazine and/or start ripping crazy times on a track, that's when the fun starts. Sponsorships, $$$, etc

with what your saying but it also helps who you know!

Gale if you want coverage I know the guy that runs this Canadian car site/magazine that you might recognize if you go to the auto show or import fest.

AMF | Automotive Lifestyle Magazine – AutoMotoFoto.net

Anyway the guy has also done work for some other magazines like PAS and Import Tuner

I used to know the guys... I had one of my old cars in PAS and a trade magazine back when I was competing heavy in IASCA SQ, and several customer vehicles in PAS and a few other magazines, but I've been out of the loop for a while. I used to have full sponsorship for all my audio stuff and paid lodging when I went to shows. Good times
